Rudy has big plans for his presidential Medal of Freedom.
I’m excited about Trump’s security guarantee for Ukraine.
What’s more repulsive, Texas Republicans gerrymandering or their self-righteous indignation about it?
Republicans claim the only way to preserve the Trump tax cuts is to pass the big beautiful bill. This is false. The tax cuts can be extended in a short paragraph simply altering the sunset date. Don’t let their bullshit fool you.
Because Trump is constantly contradicting himself, he’s right an amazing 50% of the time!
Trump is calling for Iran’s unconditional surrender. Two big words with so many syllables. I was expecting him to demand that the Supreme Leader say “uncle.” Very impressive.
The question is whether Putin is now perceived by Trump as so much of a laughingstock that he no longer wants to be seen as his friend.
Cardinals who say they won’t support Trump for next Pope get a message from him.
If Mike Waltz is such a good guy, why doesn’t he get to stay in his present position until he’s confirmed as UN ambassador?
So if you’re proud of tariffs, why wouldn’t you want them displayed on Amazon product orders? Please explain, MAGA.
I’m struggling to remember the word “dementia.” What does that mean?
Sad. Excommunicating JD Vance was on Pope Francis’ Monday afternoon to do list.

Trump, his family and cronies are both dumb and corrupt. Did any of them benefit from knowledge that Trump would pause tariffs? Insider trading is illegal and should be investigated as soon as possible.
Trump’s Schizonomics
Let’s see, imposing tariffs is an emergency-that can be paused 90 days. Call the fire department my house is on fire. Never mind. Tell them to wait 90 days before sending the truck over. Asinine!
Reading about the attack on the Houthis, the policy considerations of Trump and Biden are not very different, but the disregard for planning rules and secrecy is astounding. All the idiots on the chats should have known better and should be canned, because they are dangerously incompetent.
Then it needs a new set of principles and principals.
Time to overthrow this government? If not now, when?
Watching the Mets and Cards on SNY. The audio and video are completely out of sync. Can’t anybody play this game?
The stock is in a “correction,” because Trump is not in a correctional institution which is where he should and would be but for our corrupt Supreme Court.
I agree with the Trump Administration that the bad economic news is the effect of a transition, a transition from people who knew what they were doing to a bunch of hapless nitwits.
Mike Johnson is already blaming Schumer for his failed c.r. But he didn’t negotiate with Chuck and Chuck doesn’t control his fellow Democrats. The Republican Senate could abolish the filibuster if they were serious, but they aren’t.
The White House is furious about Trump critics asserting without direct evidence that yesterday’s episode was a premeditated trap laid by Trump and Vance intended to sink the U.S.-Ukraine alliance once and for all. Well, there’s 78 years of circumstantial evidence!
ICE arrests have declined from about 800 per day in late January to fewer than 600 during the first 13 days of February. The administration has stopped publishing daily numbers, and Trump officials said they will release the data on a monthly basis to conserve resources because arithmetic is hard.
Trump knows the “resignation” gambit is illegal and will not survive judicial review. But the “suckers and losers” who resigned will be targeted as disloyal slackers and have their lives made miserable.
With the deadline looming US Gaza resort administrators are struggling whether they should accept OPM’s resignation offer.

The Golden Age in America has begun; or more accurately, he who has the gold, rules!
Who’s side is history on?
The silly appeal of bipartisanship and finding common ground. Don’t fall for it!
It’s the morning after Christmas.
The Palestinian Authority is the latest to ban Al Jazeera, following in the footsteps of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Egypt and Israel. Did you think it was only banned by Israel?

The Democrats think they won the shutdown standoff. They didn’t. They let the Republicans back out of an agreement and then agreed with them to an even worse agreement. The Republicans won’t forget their lack of backbone and will treat them like the chumps they are.
Fun day for the Pope!
Is anybody asking the warring parties in Syria what their plans are for the day after? Two state solution?
In Lebanon we’ve gone from a pretend ceasefire to denying ceasefire violations. That what some call progress!
Here’s some simple unsolicited advice for Stellantis: retire losing brands and only sell Jeep and Ram in the US. And change that stupid name to “Jeep.”
I’ve seen articles on the World Series shares, but none breaks it down by player. For example, what was part year player Tommy Edman’s share?
Let’s talk about Pete Hegseth. Hegseth has been accused of following in the footsteps of Bill Cosby, putting something in a woman’s drink and then having his way with her. While Hegseth may not belong in jail, he most certainly doesn’t belong in the Cabinet. The Senate should reject him.
California should strongly consider withdrawing from the United States.
